Microbial lampscapes

Light design
Biolumina: Microbial Lampscapes presents an innovative fusion of art and science, featuring table lamps adorned with home-grown bacteria and fungi. Cultivated on a self developed agar nutrient medium, these captivating microbial communities are encapsulated and preserved within epoxy resin cubes and disks, emitting a enchanting glow.
The intention behind Biolumina is to challenge preconceived notions of bacteria and fungi, often perceived as unsightly or even harmful. In reality, these microorganisms play a crucial role in sustaining life on Earth. Without them, our existence would be impossible.
Through this artwork, I aim to shift perspectives and foster appreciation for the inherent beauty and importance of bacteria and fungi. Just like the awe-inspiring wonders of nature, they deserve to be celebrated and admired. These lamps stand for where science meets art to illuminate the beauty of the microscopic realm.
